A Caged Bird:
Chapter 6
"Oahh!" Robin breathed quietly when Slade punched him in the chest, knocking him back out of his unconscious state. He then moaned and tried to lift his head and look at his attacker, although he already knew it was Slade.
Slade reached forward and grabbed Robin's face, by his chin, and pulled it up to face him. "Your wishing you were dead, aren't you." Slade sneered.
Even through his panting, Robin wasn't willing to submit to Slade's games. "That's what you'd like, wouldn't it?" Robin said still breathing heavily. "But here's an idea. Why don't you kiss my…"
BAM!
"IGNORENT CHILD!" Slade yelled cutting Robin off of finishing his statement by punching him in the face brutally.
"Robin…" Starfire thought. Robin's head had swung to the left with the blow, and he rested it there for a moment. He then slowly lifted it up, toward Slade again, reveling that his mouth was now bleeding from his lower lip.
Robin then slowly half-smiled. "heh heh…"
"R-Robin! Has he gone mad! " Starfire thought worried. Slade didn't move but simply held his fist up in place, where it had rested after punching the wounded titan.
"Losing your temper, are we?" Robin smirked "That's no good."
"Why y-…" Slade started raising his arm more, but then stopped and dropped it to his side. "Hmp…"
"You mad, 'cause I'm not breaking, aren't you." Robin teased. "You can't figure it out. Why I'm not worried for my life. A bumbling ball of distressed worry. Why you can't wi-..ARGG!" Robin was suddenly cut off again, but this time not by a punch Slade had taken out the kryptonian tazer flipped the switch to the lowest setting, and promptly placed it against Robin's chest and…zap…
"I'm not sure what's wrong with you, but I'm pretty sure you do value your life and you are worried…" Slade then leaned close to the weak titan and whispered "But that could just be me…" And then, standing back up " And still, I don't care if you do, or don't. I'm just going to make you suffer until…I get bored." Slade hissed. "And then…I'll just rid this city of your 'friends'."
Robin had just been hanging there listening, but when Slade said this his head shot up and he tried to lung himself at Slade yelling "DON'T YOU TOUCH THEM!"
" Robin, Robin, Robin. It's too easy to get to you. I'll do what I want and you can't stop me." Slade taunted.
"NO!" Robin screamed franticly pulling at his chains, desperately trying in vain to get at Slade. "NO! DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH ME, BUT LEAVE THEM OUT OF IT!"
Slade just stood there in front of the desperate boy still trying to pull free and jump at Slade, and Robin could just feel him smirking under his mask. "But Robin, this is doing what I want. What better way to get back at you…" Slade taunted, placing his index finger on the titans chest. "…then from your inside, out…" Slade finished turning his back on Robin and walking away a short distance.
"No…please…" Robin pleaded. He didn't want to get them mixed up in this. Not this time. Not again. He couldn't risk what had happened the first time Slade "got to him through them."
"Oh, so now we're ready to submit, are we? Well, it's a few years too late for that." Slade teased. "Now, on with the 'show'…".
Starfire watched wide eyed as Slade teased, taunted and threatened Robin, wishing she could do something, anything to help him; and knowing that she couldn't. She was trapped, helpless and useless. All she could do was watch as her titan leader, who had already done so much for her, was beaten and abused; both physically and mentally. All she wanted to do was run in and free Robin from his bindings, cradle him in her arms and heal his wounds. She was suddenly knocked out of her thoughts of sympathy when she saw something that made her blood run cold. Slade had reached back again to grab something, but this time it was not the kryptonian tazer as she had first thought; it was a knife…

PLESE READ THE AUTHOR NOTES! VERY VERY IMPORTANT INFO!
Author notes : So firstly, I just wanted to remind you (in case you we're stupid and didn't read the opening memo...thingy...) I'm moving "A Caged Bird" to the angst/romance section. so when (or should I say if...) you're looking for my story next time DON'T look for it in the action/adventure section. okay.
Secondly I'd like to dedicate this chapter to my Best friend, Stellaluna Uniqueness (actually she's my BFEUASD...but we won't get into that...) who, by the way, has a totally awsome story of her own going, for thoses of you who like Kingdom Hearts, it's called "Diary of a Dying World". (rated K+ and under Action/Adventure section.) So check that out. Again. This one's for you Stellaluna!
Lastly, I'd like to apologise for taking SO long (again.) to update. I've had a ton of stuff on the go lately and, in case you didn't notice, I made this chapter way longer. Also,(because of the ton of stuff that's been happening lately.) I'm writting this up at like 10:30 at night (I know, I know, it's not that late, but when you get up in the morning at like 5:00 a.m. so you can catch a bus at 6:00, it sure feels like it!) so pleasde forgive me for the spelling/grammer errors. I fix them later, promise. My next chapter should be soon (it's going to be a lot shorter.) So keep an eye out for it...or two! (...ouch...forgive me...)
